The Milwaukee Bucks will travel to New York to face the Knicks tonight. The Milwaukee Bucks have had an inconsistent season so far. They were the team with the best record last season, but the Bucks have now struggled to replicate that form. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo will be motivated coming into the game, after his MVP-winning performance in the NBA All-Star game.

The Knicks, on the other hand, have been a real surprise this season. Under new head coach Tom Thibodeau, the Knicks are above .500 so far this season. Julius Randle has been playing some of the best basketball of his career. He was named an All-Star for the first time in his career, and will hope to lead the Knicks to a playoff position this season.

With that being said, here is everything you need to know before the Bucks take on the Knicks.
